Data were examined for the young men and young women cohorts of the NLS. All respondents who were married were followed for 10 years and divided into three groups: (1) those who remained married, (2) those who divorced and did not remarry, and (3) those who divorced and remarried. Selected results show that female per capita income decreased substantially after divorce, while male per capita income increased substantially. Among those who remained married there was no difference between males and females in per capita family income. Differences between male and female income levels could not be attributed solely to number of dependents. Even among those with no dependents, females had much lower incomes than males. [(c)APA]
